Trends in Corporate Japan: What's Changed, What Hasn't
Facilitator: Sue Shinomiya

Experienced presenter, author, business consultant, coach and trainer, Sue Shinomiya will present her vast knowledge of Japanese business techniques as well as her research on the current Japanese economic conditions, workforce, changing company structures, and social issues influencing the Japanese business world today.  Sue's seminar is full of vital information for newcomers and veteran deal-closers alike.

 With all the changes in recent years, many ask the questions: Is it really necessary for Americans to learn about traditional Japanese business practices?  Aren't they becoming more westernized and therefore more like us?  The reality of the situation is: Assume that they're becoming more like us at your own peril!

In Sue's seminar, she addresses these questions by discussing how things are or are not actually changing in the Japanese business world and what these changes mean to American business people.
